Freehold. T.O.P. 2017. Period 8 Flying Star Feng Shui The Tembusu and "The forms (Shapes and Forms) in some instances prevail over the stars (Flying Stars) in this development" 1. The Tembusu @ Tampines with five blocks (2 larger and 3 smaller blocks). 2. Trilive which is equally a small development is just one site or rather a building (Fortune Park) away. 3. In this development the Flying Stars are either N2 or S2. Even though the compass bearings are 5 degrees off true North or South. 4. There is also a Multi-storey car park (HDB MSCP BLK 373A) covering approximately 2/3rds of the Northern stretch of The Tembusu. 5. As MSCPs are no higher than 6th storey; just be extra careful of standing inside a unit's opening such as a balcony seeing the roof lamp sliding into the unit. As this is considered as a Sha Qi or poison arrow. 6. It is much easier to neutralise such a poison arrow if it is a window opening vs the lamp post directly tangent to or in full alignment aimed towards especially the middle of a balcony. 7. All stacks in this development either face Flying Stars Period 8: N2 or S2 direction(s). 8. N2. Stacks/Units has the double auspicious #8's wasted at the "back" of the unit. Thus not as favourable as say the S2 facing stacks. 9. However, the saving grace for this development is that: some stacks of Blocks 107C and 107D face a pool of water. 10. Of course in theory, some would question why I mentioned Para 8 above and this contradicts above Para 9. 11. This is because of this motherhood statement:- "Forms prevails over the stars". 12. For example: even if say the South (S2) facing stacks are SUPPOSE to be better than North (N2) stacks; 12.1 But wait a moment... there is no real (YANG) water where S2 stacks are facing. 12.2 Furthermore, even though the roads are like water courses be it the service road of the development or the main road = Tampines Road; 12.3 However, based on Shapes and Forms (The Forms) even if the STARS (Flying stars are considered good); don't you agree that certain stacks facing the pool view (plus the MSCP car park is a distance away) is OVERALL better? 13. Thus in this development even if all stacks that are south facing S2 although enjoys the double auspicious #8 wealth stars at their frontage may seem to be better. But this may not necessary be better than what I mentioned above Para 9. 14. The major concern for a S2 facing chart is that so often, the kitchen may be located at NW sector. Which in Feng Shui is called: "Fire at Heaven's Gate". And this can affect the male breadwinner's career luck. 4. Thus for a South facing (S2) best to select a unit where the kitchen is either at North or North-east sector is preferred.

Thank you for the information. What you are asking is beyond the scope of this forum.

Make a guess which phone I use? . . . . . . . Wrong, wrong and wrong... I believe Bruce W. and me are still using this same old school one...

To all the millions of Korean FANS, I deeply apologise for my mum's uncalled for comments! I am no fan of iphones either... But my hands are tied! Mama! PLEASE HELP! MAMA replies: GIRL... SERVE YOU RIGHT! Please eat your words erh.. your phone, first! Before I even think of...

Don't you agree such a pool colour looks so pleasing to the eyes! Swim here? Any time! Photos: La Fiesta @ Sengkang recently Just T.O.P.

It is a requirement by NEA for weekly pool cleaning. Majority of the time pool Cleaners work during day-light hours. Even so; it is difficult to detect clusters of green algae in a pool be it on the walls or pool flooring. The photos are from The Makena condo. But please note that the photo shows ponds meant for fishes. Such as Koi fishes as seen in one of photos. Sometimes some irresponsible pet owners also throw their unwanted titles into such ponds. You will never get me to swim in a greenish coloured pool ... ever... even if lighted up blue at night. Seen too many jaws movies... and ..

Congratulations, new home owners Ecopolitian Just T.O.P. This photo was taken more than 6 months ago showing what seems like green tiles in the Swimming pool. Identical pool Color of it's Sister development: The Topiary You will never get me to swim in such a pool. LOL

The two towers at the uncompleted Commonwealth Towers by CDL are also considered safe-designs under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Although they don't look exactly like the popular HDB 5 bedroom flats of the mid 1970's era flats nor their many variants in the 1980's and 1990's; These Commonwealth Towers condominium two towers have one thing in common of close to 360 degrees unblocked air-flow circulation for each blocks. Even though it may be a larger bigger version with 11 or more stacks in each block instead of just 4 for the 1970's HDB 5 bedroom "point-blocks" in the past. Another difference is the layouts are to be looked at individually... vs HDB 5 bedroom "point-blocks" where in the past, the locations of the toilets were never at the centre; Even the main entrance door is 32" inches. An auspicious Feng Shui ruler width. Plus even both sides of this main door frame adds up to 3". Thus the combined main door plus the door frame is also equally auspicious at 35" inches Link to the Feng Shui review of Commonwealth Towers by CDL

This is pure common sense...

Sophia Hills condominium and Shapes and Forms Feng Shui In contrast to a property situated on level ground; A property positioned on a hill presents an additional factor to consider. It is also influenced by the elevation of the hills and whether it is situated on a barren, isolated hill. If the hill is of a reasonable height and lacks adequate cover such as trees or other structures to mitigate the "wind" or qi. This results in strong winds frequently impacting the front of the home, stack, or unit; it is said to be influenced by sha qi. Consequently, such a residence may experience both financial and health-related challenges. Thus, it does not imply that when we step onto the balcony of a residence or open the windows and shortly thereafter, our hair appears disheveled; this is a positive sign. On the contrary... this is not favorable. Winds entering our home (if any) should predominantly be gentle (except during stormy and windy conditions). Experiencing this every other day is not advisable. Therefore, how exposed are the stacks marked in red below and any others, particularly those at the outer "shell" of Sophia Hills condominium:-

For those who are conservative in only considering e.g. standing inside the main door looking out to take a compass reading of the FRONTAGE; Could perhaps look at this layout plan. In my opinion, the facing direction should instead be standing at marking A taking a reading towards marking B. Be it from the living / dining; master bedroom or bedroom 3 (blue marking A to B). This is because in the past when many of the text-books were written; there were no high rise buildings for the ancient geomancers to write about. For example who would be living inside a pagoda structure.

Further to what I had mentioned; other than one's biological clock stops especially at an older age trying to conceive:- It is easier to go and apply Flying Star Feng Shui (try to boost earth luck) than to apply it from Heaven luck or born with area via Ba Zi. Or rather ba zi is a snap-shot of one's life. There are many escape clauses in Ba Zi for other compartments of it. For example: one's opportunity e.g. born in a place where one has to work to support a family from young or in Singapore where we have an opportunity to study from young to whatever high if we want to. To boost the chances of conception:- Feng Shui Triage Proper trouble-shooting is required http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage The Concept of Maximizing Marks Hopefully from a FAIL to a PASS or better! http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks Fix-the-Leak, First! http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/Fix-the-Leak,_First The Three-Step-Approach http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach The above are based on reasonably sound concepts many are based on pure common sense. Vs approaching a quack Feng Shui master who's only motive is to sell you this; sell you that etc...

1. Please see a sample illustration with the various concepts and their place in the overall things of Yin and Yang pertaining to both Earth Luck (Feng Shui) and Ba Zi or 4 Pillars or Pillars of Destiny and the relationships with each other. 2. A traditional Chinese boat was believed to be adapted by the "cells" in a bamboo. 2.1. For example, when we split a bamboo pole into half; we can see that it is spilt into compartments. 2.2. Here, each concept e.g. Ba Zi falls into one cell. Flying Star Feng Shui falls into another cell. Here, in this simple analogy although they are different or for different purposes: but together and many other concepts give us a bigger picture. Under the Holy Trinity of Chinese Luck system; we can simply classify it as:- 1. Heaven or born with. Here, a ba zi chart is meant to plot and provide the essence of this compartment. And allow one to understand better (if one knows where to look at in the first place). 1.1. However, ba zi has many escape clauses: one's education, family etc.. It is used more to see if there are any issues of conception rather than how many children one will have. 1.2. For example, if a ba zi claim that one can only have 2 children (by the way .. who or what is reason ba zi to do so?) 1.3. The concept of self-fulfilling prophecy. Here, if for example the ba zi says.. one will not have children. Some may even believe so strongly that ... even if they could.. because of hearing this they do not have even a child by coincidence. 1.4. But rather Ba zi can analyse and say perhaps put this 1 + 1 and more likely this couple may have an uphill task at conception. More... on the House of Conception vs The Flying Star chart 1.5. Thus, House of Conception in itself is similar to the bamboo pole. It is but one of the many components within a ba zi chart. Frankly, once we have the correct chart e.g. birth-date; a skilled geomancer can tell revealing things and the probability of conception for this pair of person. 1.6. Flying Star Feng Shui. In many instances this is useful from another perspective. 1.7. For example: a couple called me. (I did their office Feng Shui). And during that time; they were staying at Rosewood in Woodlands. Without naming names, the wife is an account in this firm. 1.8. The reason for her call was that she had two or more mis-carriages after moving into the unit. 1.9. An audit of her home found that her master bedroom had both #5 and #9 combinations. Quickly #5 = misfortune / sickness and #9 = fire. Under the five elements concept fire further fuels the #5's etc.. 1.10. Furthermore, the master bedroom uses warm white light. Which when turned on has the yellowish colour etc... 1.11. After the audit; she no longer had a mis-carriage. 2. There are many more cases where once either the problem areas were neutralised and or certain flying star numbers were enhanced; I am aware of three clients who had twins. In fact, one of my face-book friends.. were in this situation, before. And now had twins. 3. Under Flying Star Feng Shui: there are two categories: a. Neutralise or disarm bad Flying star numbers example #5's, #2's and #3's etc... and combinations of bad stars. b. Enhance (if possible) good stars e.g. #8's mountain or water (if possible) #1's future future prosperity star etc.. 3.1 Besides Flying Star Feng Shui and it's sister concept known collectively as the Compass School of Feng Shui: Eight House is also the very important: Location, location & location : simply known as Shapes and Forms Feng Shui.

If one has the time and want to understand more about the concern of vehicles and houses... then do use the Search feature at the TOP right icons to search for terms like : House facing T junction. For example:- There are lots more of these examples ... after doing a search ...

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. These are some considerations:- 1. One of the key success factor in determining whether there is a threat to a home is to visual the movement of a vehicle towards a home in such a situation. 2. First step is to determine which country one is in and/or if this is a service road into a home; is it a one-way or two way road. 3. If this home is in a Commonwealth country which was formerly run by UK/England then "our" cars drive on the right side of the road vs left. 4. This is because a vehicle travelling on the left side and towards the blue dot home has a higher probability even if it is a remote possibility of (TOUCH WOOD) it ploughing into such a home. 4.1. This is if the vehicle for some reason did not manage to turn with the curve but goes in a straight line. Again.. apologies (TOUCH WOOD) 5. The blue dot home is not exactly at a cul-de-sac but has exactly some of the properties of one of the homes in a cul-de-sac. Such as the way the road curves and how the home was arranged on it. Quite identical to some of such homes I have personally been to. 6. In the past, I had posted many examples of homes at T-junctions and perhaps once in several million chance a vehicle ploughs into the home. 6.1. Here, this is similar to "risk" evaluation. 6.2. Question: What happens if unfortunately a vehicle ploughs in a straight line.. what would it be stopped by (if any). 6.2.1 Here, it would help if there are some obstacles that can halt the vehicle and eventually stop it totally. 6.2.2 For a smaller home with a house that is not set-back as far as yours; and depending on the type of vehicle: car or three tonne etc.. makes all the difference plus the speed. And for the home what type of boundary wall if any to stop it. 6.3. In my opinion; the good news is for your home are:- a. It is not directly facing this curved road. As I can see that the drive-way leads to the side-of the road. A plus point for this home. b. The house occupies such a huge piece of land and as mentioned under Para 6.2.2 the frontage of the house is reasonably far away from the service road to be considered a real "threat" of what I was talking about all this time. c. In addition, there are a row of perhaps mature trees. And these act as bollards; which are often able to stop a vehicle from advancing further inwards... 7. As for other considerations like the plot of land. Starting from analysing the entire drainage of the home. An example is attached. Plus lots more other scientific principles including Shapes and Forms and Flying Stars need to be plotted; before one can give some value judgements.

Please visit this most updated comprehensive resource to find out more on the facing direction of a home. Is it always the front / main entrance door? Do read the above resource, first. == Older Resources == In my opinion; these are some considerations: 1. Is this an existing apartment or a brand new one? 2. If this is this an existing apartment and you or your family had stayed in it for a few years. Or if you have a reliable source e.g. a friend or a "truthful" person who can give you a glimpse of that specific unit's history. 2.1. If so, one could consider plotting a few flying star charts e.g. of a few directions. And study them to see which seems to be "more accurate". 2.2 However, this is not for a novice. But for a person who is fairly conversant with Flying Star Feng Shui. 2.3. There are some considerations to the above if even the Period may be in question. For example, it is a straight forward case if there were no major renovations (and even what type need to be considered). If so, determine which period it was built and it's T.O.P. date is/was. 2.4. But if the Period is in question then under Para 2.1; then one should also consider this when plotting various charts. 3. However, for a new apartment; in general I believe most have read this or some other links from various places:- 3.1 Resource link (in case some may not know the various controversies such as the ultra conservatives who go only by the text book etc...) 4. Key success factors: 4.1. In my opinion; the key success factor of finding the facing direction (please note that this may be the main door or it may not; it could even be standing inside the living room looking out or even e.g. if the "rear" of the house has a wonderful view with lots of openings towards the rear.. looking into a wonderful lake. 4.2. Why in the first place do we need to find the "facing direction"? 4.3. The main purpose of doing so is to determine from where the MAJORITY of qi or ("wind + light / brightness") flows into a PLACE. 4.4. Thus if one is looking at macro Feng Shui of a building or a site; then we should determine the facing direction of that the attached layout of the six storey building. 5. Unfortunately, it is not easy to comment only on just a "flat" 2D illustration such as this. As there is no surrounding buildings views or what the entire building looks like with all it's windows / openings even the roads etc... 5.1. For a geomancer or someone practising it; should be at the actual site to get a feel of things. 5.2. And it is not like one size fits all sort of thing. A management concept called : "Situational Approach" can also be applied; here. 5.3. What it implies is that no two situations are the same. Here if we apply it under Feng Shui; then no two units are the same. Each unit has to be looked at in entirety. 5.3. For example: for an existing home; an experienced geomancer would try to even determine the household's habits. Which door he/she opens more often; even which door (or sliding doors) and/or windows (if any) etc... 5.4. Thus for an apartment; if the owners do not open their windows on one side and often even use near to 100 percent block out curtains or blinds; and love to open their main door most of the time when he/she are at home; then contrary to what you and I determine; here, the determining factor is the owner's habits, first! 6. Remember this mantra: " You (owner) stay there; We don't!" applies. 7. If you had posted this to lots of geomancy websites for advice; one would be literally flooded with a 1001 different view points. 7.1. And even "argue" until all the cows come home. Although all of us are one single race of homo-sapiens; each of us are individuals with our own view points. 8. I certainly do not want to be drawn into this issue. In addition; there are some geomancers unfortunately, who instead of focusing of the issue..

Water classics and water courses Photo taken from Block 194B Just T.O.P. Skyline I looking towards block 182 Bukit Batok. There is a world of difference if water flows to the blue or to the red arrows to the stacks marked as A of the block in the photo as well as the side stacks eg. Blk 194B where I had taken the photo from. Sometimes water may flow backwards if the canal is at the mouth of a river due to tidal influences. So far I have observed that mostly this canals water flows towards the blue arrow...

Sophia Hills is invariably linked to its most renowned landmark, The Cathay cinema, along with the hanging trees... Fortunately, Sophia Hills is situated "up-there," whereas The Cathay cinema is located "down-there." The Cathay was previously a popular destination for ghost sightings. In the past, Sophia Hills was known for its food and dining options "up-there." This 99/109 leasehold land, referred to as Sophia Hills, must be developed around the preserved Child-care/kindergarten building and the conserved structure known as The Sophia Shophouse. Nevertheless, there are drawbacks to this, such as the sharp angles of the rooflines and ledges, as well as the pointed corners of these buildings directed towards any openings in the units within the development. For instance, a seemingly innocuous roofline, as depicted in the attached illustrations... Conserved structure: Childcare/Kindergarten and Conserved Structure: The Sophia Clubhouse. For example, the green arrows indicate a potential hazard from the roofline of the conserved building's roof towards specific levels of stack #37 if there are openings in these areas. Likewise, the cyan arrows suggest a possible threat to stack #43 (if applicable). The purple arrow represents both the potential danger of the rooflines and/or the sharp corner of the building. The yellow arrows indicate potential threats to stack #83 or #91. The blue arrow points to a potential risk to stack #90 (if applicable).

1. Stack 274 is classified under Period 8 Flying Stars N1. The primary advantage of an N1 chart is its favorable double 8s positioned at the front. 1.1 It is beneficial if the frontage includes a water feature. However, stack 274 lacks genuine water unless a water element is incorporated. 1.2. Nonetheless, in its "current state": there exists a clear space of virtual water at the frontage (the living room's facing direction). In this area, there is a patch of grass directly in front of the stack/unit, followed by an internal service road that serves as a buffer to Margaret Drive. 1.3 This stack would undoubtedly gain from having a bedroom or living room situated in an auspicious sector, such as the NE sector, as it possesses favorable star combinations of MS#6 + WS#1. 1.4 Locating a bedroom in the East sector is advantageous for a bedroom cum study. 1.5 Conversely, the remaining sectors of the N1 chart exhibit unfavorable or inauspicious stars, which may require "disarming/neutralizing". 2. Stack 272 is associated with an S1 chart. The distinction between an S1 and an N1 chart lies in the inversion of the mountain and water stars. 2.1 Unlike S2/S3 charts, where the current prosperity stars #8 + #8 are positioned at the front; 2.2. Regrettably, the combined auspicious wealth stars MS#8 + WS#8 are located at the "rear" of the unit. This is quite unfortunate, as this area typically encompasses the kitchen and yard rather than the front, such as the living room or the front side of the home. 2.3 It would be beneficial to have a bedroom situated in the East sector, which is favorable for studies. 2.4 If the main entrance is positioned at NE, it would be excellent due to the favorable combinations of MS#1 with WS#6 in this sector.

I am pleased to hear that you found my previous posts enjoyable. Thank you! I have revised the original post to enhance its clarity. This adjustment was necessary because I only have the S2 worked-out chart available alongside this rough sketch. Additionally, I neglected to mention that the Flying Star numbers for an S2 chart are the same. For instance: the South sector in both charts, whether S2 or S3, will display two numbers at the top, #8 and #8. The base number remains 3. The sole distinction lies in their respective compass directions: S2 = between 172.5 to 187.4 degrees (180 degrees chart) S3 = between 187.5 to 202.4 degrees (195 degrees chart) Attached is an S2 chart, with highlights in the South sector showing 8 + 8 over 3. S3 = between 187.5 to 202.4 degrees (195 degrees chart) Attached is an S2 chart. Highlights at South sector which has 8 + 8 upon 3

Sophia Hills Condominium (a re-launch) It is essential to verify the accuracy of the Sales Brochure's site-map against the local street directory to ascertain whether the North marking on the Sales Brochure's site-map is correct. This verification is necessary because, in previous instances, a few Sales Brochures contained not only inaccurate but significantly erroneous North markings on their site plans. Consequently, if one were to follow or rely on this North marking without question, it could lead to an unpleasant surprise later on... Is the sales brochure reliable? The positive aspect is that the margin of error is not merely a 5-degree discrepancy: for instance, the Sales Brochure indicates a 45-degree frontage, whereas the street directory shows 40 degrees. Fortunately, this discrepancy falls safely within the parameters of Period 8, NE2 facing direction, where the acceptable range is between 37.5 degrees and 52.4 degrees. This provides a considerable buffer or safety margin. Attached are the two documents: the street directory and the sales brochures.
